There was an article from a Japanese history facebook page about that car being a R grade with wound back km's. Had 150,000 years ago. I saw the post about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Japan car history check is the page. How much are you expecting to pay for a 34 via the auctions at the moment?

If anyone buys a car from that mob, do a background check on the car. They have already had problems regarding winding the clocks back. I thought Edward Lees was closed down ??

Among other things I was told my car had 17,000klm on it , I said maybe for each wheel combined but the car was in good condition and the price was right.

Just be careful

Heard about that today. Hopefully seller knows

The seller knew part of the story I believe but didn't wish to investigate the rest.

I received another offer on my 34R as well as two on the 32R, discussed during the GT-R FESTIVAL. No-one on the 33R.

Hmmm...

Hey Terry, long time!

Walked around your 3 GTR's at the festival mate. Immaculate! Congrats on the Trophy.

Still looking guys, it's so hard out there. FYI, not for me, it's for a mate of mine. :D

Were the offers substantial enough to make you stop and think, should I :/

With the 34R, there was a definite figure thrown at me. It was quite reasonable for the year 2017 and equivalent to what the Chinese have been prepared to pay in order to get this type of car initially through HK.

With the 32R, the two offers were not in dollar terms - only that these two guys be contacted should the car come up f/s.

Well there we have it! What goes on at a Festival!

Which 32R was yours at the festival? 

Is it currently for sale?

Well I have just been through it but I am not an expert.

For a base R34 GTR with over 4 grading and less than 60000km that ticked all the Ironchef checks the starting price was around 85k landed and complied. Mind you with the current exchange rate 89Yen to 1AUD this is closer to 80k. So it might of paid off to wait. However in the 2 months that I was looking only 1 car came up that ticked all the boxes so all things considered I was happy with the end result.

I am unsure about any other variations but obviously Vspecs or any other variation are more. 

Generally more kms or grading 3.5 and so forth are less. There was lots of things that the Ironchef guys looked at like smokers car, rust etc and I was advised against cars with too many mods. I wanted a stock car anyhow as I think these will do better over time.

The similar ones I saw on carsales from dealers are around the 95k mark (and none of these have less than 60000 kms) so I think a 75 to 85k price is about right.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
